Horowitz (1932)
Barere (1947)

i thought Argerich’s rec was a true show of great pianism and stuff, but i just cant find any musical depth in it. i still think Zimerman is my favourite interpreter of this work. i actually feel reborn after listening to this. other than zim, my favourites are Richter and Barere.
